But it wasn't. <p>Alain is now faced with a problem of fixing up his -- self-described -- poor code. Petitioning for a change to the implementation at this point is most unlikely to help him. Even if everyone agreed a change would be beneficial, it would likely be a long time before that made it into a new release. <P>And given the existing mechanism is used my millions of pieces of code out there in the real world; and there is no real way to make his explicit de-tainting mechanism co-exist with the current mechanism; the likelyhood of it ever being implemented is very low. <p>That leaves Alain one obvious choice. <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-171588"> <hr /> <font size=1 > <div>With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'</div> <div>Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.</div> <div>"Science is about questioning the status quo.
